"Mako-chan, where were you on the night of September 6?"
"I was summoned by my guardian Jupiter to give Nephrite a Code Red..."
OK, all jokes aside, this episode was considerably well done for an episode we had to wait not two, but 3 weeks to be shown. Because, you know, not all months operate the same way. For the most part, this episode - as always - tries its best to stay true to the manga's roots, with only one deviation (the four Heavenly Kings being left alive) as the only thing being different.
Usagi's wandering the streets of Juuban and is saved by Makoto Kino, a transfer student who was supposedly expelled for fighting. She lives by herself, as both her parents died in a plane crash. She also had a love interest with an unnamed senior, who then revealed he already had a girlfriend. Upon meeting with Usagi at the Crown arcade, the manager Motoki Furuhata immediately reminds her of that very senior.
Meanwhile Nephrite infiltrates a bridal store in order to gather more energy and draw out the Silver Crystal, which is again foiled by the Sailor Senshi, and in the process causes Makoto to awaken as Sailor Jupiter after being subjugated by a possessed Motoki. For the first time, we're treated to seeing Jupiter's Flower Hurricane in motion, as up until now it was just a manga-only technique. Oddly enough, her lightning-based technique is called Jupiter Thunderbolt instead of Supreme Thunder.
The next episode will be focusing on Tuxedo Mask and his backstory.
